CDC: New restrictions for those at high Ebola risk
U.S. health officials are recommending that people who are at highest risk for coming down with Ebola avoid commercial travel or attending large public gatherings, even if they have no symptoms.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued the updated advice to state and local officials on Monday.
The CDC guidance comes after the governors of New York and New Jersey announced mandatory quarantines for medical workers returning from three West African countries plagued by the worst Ebola outbreak in world history. Illinois and Maryland have announced quarantines for health workers at high risk for getting the disease, including anyone who’s touched an Ebola patient’s body fluids without protective gear.
